The real mystery no one is talking about:
All eels in America and Europe come from the Bermuda Triangle – but no one’s ever seen them there.

@npub1t8u…c7sk Heya Anil, just thought it worth pointing out the news that Karl Wallinger of The Waterboys/World Party passed away. A bunch of crossovers with Prince (a multii-instrumentalist himself, he counted P as a big influence), from his synth sound on The Whole of the Moon being directly inspired by Prince, through to him giving early support to a young up-and-comer named Sinead O'Connor (I’ve often wondered if she found Nothing Compares through her friendship with Karl).

With the mighty Alan Moore turning 70 this weekend, seems like a good time to repost our interview with him from a few years back discussing science, imagination, language and 'spirits of place’.

Ancient Roman twenty-sided dice made out of rock crystal, possibly used for divination. Each face has a Latin letter inscribed on it, along with the corresponding Roman numeral.

@npub1q2t…jr8a The hazards of talking to a really big room full of people is dealing with those sorts I guess.
If I had a dollar for every person who's mentioned Betteridge's law when I've posted a headline and link to a news story, thinking they've made some insightful little response I've never heard before, I’d be a very rich man…

@npub1q2t…jr8a Does that make you a...mastochist? (Apologies if this joke has been made already)

@npub1q2t…jr8a You taken a look at BlueSky? Next time I have an invite code I could send it to you.
(They love images there, though I've had all sorts of difficulties fitting them in their size limit...though that is probably a dev issue that will be solved at some point.)
